We are an inclusive innovation consultancy, innovating through diversity to create better products and services for everyone.
We live in different parts of the world with different circumstances. We have different gender identities, with differing abilities and speak multiple languages. So why are products and services designed as if we are all the same?
We created The Exception Method to celebrate our differences and to disrupt traditional methods of design, to effect meaningful change.
We are inspired by people who are an exception to the design rule. Our community consists of people who have been excluded from a product or service due to a physical, cognitive or contextual constraint, and yet stand to benefit the most emotionally if given access.
